Largemouth Bass
Lake Andes, South Dakota, is a fantastic destination for largemouth bass anglers. The namesake Lake Andes, a National Wildlife Refuge, offers diverse habitat including submerged vegetation, lily pads, and flooded timber, creating ideal conditions for largemouth to thrive. Spring and early summer are peak seasons as bass move shallow to spawn and feed aggressively. Topwater lures, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics are all effective during this time. As the water warms, focus on deeper structure and weed edges. Lake Andes is relatively shallow, so finding areas with slightly deeper water near cover can be key. Access is readily available with several boat ramps and public access points around the lake. Keep in mind that Lake Andes can be susceptible to wind, so check the forecast before heading out. The largemouth population here is healthy, with opportunities to catch fish exceeding five pounds.
